Trauma Solutions
Trauma can be the catalyst for any mental health concern that impedes our ability to live our best life. Often when trauma is discussed we immediately think of experiences related to bodily harm including childhood abuse, violence, warfare, serious accidents and sexual assault. However, trauma can also refer to incidents that do not threaten one’s physical life but still disrupt emotional functioning. Examples include divorce, interpersonal conflict, infertility, financial loss, infidelity and legal trouble. I decided to obtain specialized training in trauma when I realized how frequently it was impacting peoples’ ability to be their best selves. People would often tell me that they “knew” cognitively that their thinking post trauma was impeding their progress. However, simply changing their thoughts was failing to change the physiological response their body was having in situations that triggered their trauma related memories. I therefore decided to pursue training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) to help people achieve peaceful congruency between their mind and body post trauma.
Trauma may preclude almost any clinical psychological disorder including:
-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
-Borderline Personality Disorder
-Mood Disorders
-Addiction
